His kiss was slow, but firm and unyielding, like an old man backing his Lincoln Town Car over a handicapped parking sign.

What I’m doing with my life

Working in the Cloud. Helping people find the Silver lining, controlling data downpour, and helping fight the flood of Spam. I am working hard to do more traveling and made it to Iceland last May. I had a great time getting to see the culture and sights around that great island and for being my first time outside of the country, alone, it was Awesome!

I’m really good at

Anything that includes an engine. Racing on the weekend, Flying on a Friday evening, Waterskiing after work or snowmobiling when there is snow in the hills. I also am good with computers, cooking, photography and video, dancing, kissing and much, much more.

The first things people usually notice about me

Friendliness, the ability to make others feel comfortable in a crowd, caring, a good driver, honest, goofy, fearless, nerdy, unique... I also have a knack for seeing things from a different tangent than other people and it gives a different view on a topic, problem, or life in general.

Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food

Books - when I have time to read, I always gravitate to good Novels, Si-Fi, and history.

Movies - There is no way to make a proper list here. I have seen a lot thanks to Netflix and will watch almost anything except gruesome horror films (except Zombies. Zombies are awesome!) I have even been known to enjoy an entertaining chick flick from time to time.

Shows - when I can find the time to watch TV; Dancing With The Stars, Diners Drive-ins, and Dives, Man of the House, 2 Broke Girls, Top Gear (UK & US).

Music - I have a broad love of music, but absolutly no personal musical talent (my shower doesn't even help). I am always looking for new music and my Zune Pass really helps with that. If you love music and want to share your taste you are more than welcome.

Food - Really I will eat almost anything. Italian, Sushi, Mexican, Chinese, Thai, BBQ, there is a ton of great food out there. I love trying out new places to eat. On top of that, i'm not a bad cook so lets stay in one night and whip up something grand.

Bubble gum, a food you can chew for seemingly ever, you don't really eat, and it can provide a good jaw workout. Also Bubbles.

Gasoline, it is the lifeblood of countless machines that provides me endless enjoyment.

Physics, Without it we might as well just float around with no reaction to our actions.

Elastic, who doesn't like stretchy things?

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Thinking about the things I spend a lot of time thinking about... Then I think about why I am thinking about thinking about things that I spend a lot of time thinking about and suddenly I realize, what was I thinking about in the first place?

On a typical Friday night I am

Doing things that should be done on a Friday night that may/may not interfere with things I want to do on Saturday morning. The weekend is short, enjoy it to its fullest.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit

I have a secret hobby of taking pictures of people taking pictures, of people. It's almost the perfect mix of candid and photo bombing. It is even more fun to use the flash to fully catch every bit of emotion from their facial expressions. For some reason the most common emotion seems to be anger, but I usually don't stick around long enough to be truly certain.

You should message me if

If you are breathing, and preferably not in any type of relationship, such as marriage, a cult, or prison. Are a woman that has a good head on her shoulders, preferably her own. As beautiful on the inside, as she is in the dark. You have to have a sense of humor, especially if catching me in a lie, bad joke, or out with the guys (or all the above). You MUST know how to bathe, and do it regularly....with or without my assistance. You cannot be a blood relative (note to self: always check this first, not last). And must be of legal age...in California, NOT Washington.
